static member functions

Hi all,

Ive recently just gotten into C++.......a few weeks into it actually and ive landed into a few problems. If anyone can help me id greatly appreciate it

Im just a bit confused. Id like to know how to implement a static member function and what can and cant be done with it. If an example can be tied with it, that would be great. If not, then thats still great. Ive noticed in all the C++ books, they seem to associate static member functions with default values and stuff which i cant seem to see.
